Is that what it is? Addiction?... Or am I just absorbing information as I would?
For that matter, is it a detriment that I sit here, scroll, read, investigate, research, find random topic I never expected and learn something new?
My phone's just a tool. Replace it with a book, and I'm still doing the same thing for myself, if it's out of boredom.
Yes, for maps and speed traps, to reach my loved ones, for being reachable, to provide connection to my notebook so that I can work outside or not at home, and so on...

Yes, I know, I tried both Firefox and Vivaldi, both had some things I quite didn't like, I keep trying them like every 3 months.
Sorry, I can't name them, I keep forgetting the specific issues.
